Hosting the Perfect Seafood Party

Tips and tricks to host a fun-filled seafood party with Bubba Gump’s signature flavors.

Seafood Party Setup

Setting the Stage

A seafood party is more than just a gathering — it’s a celebration of flavors, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Start with a coastal-inspired theme: nautical decorations, seashell centerpieces, and a touch of ocean blue to bring the seaside to your table. The right setting makes your guests feel like they’ve stepped straight into a beachside feast.

Keep it casual, fun, and family-style. Large platters of shrimp, crab legs, and fish tacos encourage sharing and conversation, just the way Bubba Gump loves it.

The Menu That Makes the Party

Food is the heart of any seafood party, and Bubba Gump’s signature flavors never disappoint. Offer a mix of crowd-pleasers: buttery Garlic Shrimp, Spicy Cajun Shrimp, Southern Crab Cakes, and a refreshing Shrimp Cocktail to kick things off. Don’t forget sides like cornbread, coleslaw, and fries for the perfect balance.

Pair your seafood spread with refreshing drinks: citrus-infused mocktails, chilled beers, and even a signature “Bubba Blue” punch to keep the vibes flowing all night.

Entertainment & Fun

No party is complete without entertainment! Keep the mood light with a playlist of beach tunes and classics from the Forrest Gump soundtrack. Add fun games like shrimp trivia or a crab-cracking contest to get everyone involved. These little touches make the event interactive and memorable.

At Bubba Gump, we believe a party is not just about food but about creating experiences that bring people together. Whether you’re hosting in your backyard or at one of our restaurants, we’ve got everything you need for a seafood celebration that your guests will never forget.
